"ps I bought new dishes... Because I didn't have any clean ones. I think I have a problem. On the upside they're sweet dishes."

My bestie has her own apartment. This is horrifying for a number of reasons, the biggest being that there is no one to force her to clean up after herself. Over Christmas break, she left for a few days' vacation with her family and didn't think (or maybe just didn't bother) to clean before she left. When she came back, we made plans to hang out at her place with a couple of other friends. I went over about an hour before only to find the most appallingly unsanitary conditions that I have ever seen. The entire place smelled RANK. The kitchen was a complete disaster; some of her dishes, including an entire pot, were so covered in mold that we had to just throw them away. The only cleaning supplies she had were sponges and she didn't even own a dish towel. Apparently she normally just grabs a full-size bath towel and uses a different section of it each day (or, more likely, month) to dry things, and then just throws it on the counter until she needs it again. The picture shows the result: a completely crusty, gross towel, the folds of which do not move with shaking. Bonus: a surprisingly well-adhered PastaRoni box.
I think she needs a roommate.
ReplyDeleteI AM APPALLED. I can't stand mold. Blech. If I ever saw a towel like that in my kitchen, I think I would just die, right there in the kitchen.
ReplyDeleteWe have a friend from college who before he was married, used to wear socks and then just throw them away and buy new ones instead of washing them.
